“If you don’t know Lansdale’s work, this is a great place to start. If you do know it, you’re going to find some of his best and darkest works in one place. Grab a copy but leave the lights on when you’re finished.”
—Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series

“Lansdale is a genre unto himself and has left an indelible mark on American literature. He has deservedly earned a place in the halls alongside Twain, Poe, Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck, King, and the other greats.”
—Brian Keene, bestselling author and World Horror Grandmaster award-winner

“Prepare to be disturbed, grossed out, and laugh all at the same time. Joe R. Lansdale pulls you through the meat-grinder time after time with these stories, and his hand is always steady on that crank. I’m pretty sure he’s smiling with each turn, too.”
—Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

“This book contains some of the greatest and most memorable horror stories of the past half century, each infused with the art and mischief of a true original.”
—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Birds

“Joe R. Lansdale’s storytelling combines unflinching brutality, two-fisted weirdness, and sarcastic humor while delivering it to the reader with a distinctly Texas twang.”
—Nancy A. Collins, author of Sunglasses After Dark

“Joe R. Lansdale is an American writer of the highest order, a Texas literary legend, and one of the best short story writers alive. And the horror tales contained in these pages are indeed essential.”
—Josh Rountree, author of The Unkillable Frank Lightning

“If you call yourself a horror fan but haven’t read Joe Lansdale’s short fiction, shame on you. But…fear not, you can now pick up this generous retrospective with sixteen of his greatest hits.”
—Ellen Datlow, editor of The Best Horror of the Year series

“If he’d only written a single horror story, Joe Lansdale would be remembered for it. Instead, he created a body of work almost unmatched in horror fiction, all in a voice so distinctive you recognize it immediately.”
—Derek Austin Johnson, author of The Faith

“Joe’s one of the greatest fucking writers on the planet, as I’m happy to inform any poor lost soul who somehow still hasn’t gotten the message. And when it comes to horror, nobody throws down harder, gets the joke more ferociously, or cares more deeply about the casualties of this long-suffering earth. This book is flat-out incredible.”
—John Skipp, New York Times bestselling author-turned-filmmaker of This Is Splatterpunk

 “Joe Lansdale is a wholly unique and quintessential American author. No one better understands and communicates the horrors, the absurdities, and the tattered hopes of our everyday lives.”
—Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World
